Synopsis
In 2020, a cargo ship is grounded on the coast of the island of Mauritius, losing oil and giving rise to the most serious ecological disaster ever recorded in the region. Through a language which combines documentary and traditional animation, the film recounts with poetic tones the trauma of the population and the crucial role of solidarity in curbing the effects of the environmental catastrophe.
